Facilities Brochure

Four large tents in the infield with metal frames designed for horse stabling or cattle sales, are also utilized for boat and RV storage. Our 8-outlet wash rack easily services 150 head, and features overhead lights. A a Digital Scale helps speed up the weighing of the beef cattle exhibited at fair-time.
    Rental Rate (Effective January 1, 2008): $150/tent/day (events not utilizing stabling)

Boat or RV Storage is now available at the Olds Fairgrounds. Secure, indoor cold storage is waiting for your boat or RV at competitive prices. Units are accepted in October and can be picked up in April. Rental rates for 2007/2008 are $40/unit/month (plus GST).

A Mobile Stage was built in 1998. The covered stage features hydraulic jacks and is moved into place in front of the grandstand with a tractor. Equipment is protected prior to entertainers going on stage, and because of the mobility feature, we can dictate the distance between the stage and the audience. Evening entertainers, including the Johner Brothers and Patricia Conroy, have expressed great pleasure with the stage. The mobile stage is available for on-site rentals only.

The People Mover helps ease traffic congestion and make fair patrons more comfortable, we had our own People Mover built locally in 1995. It features seating for 30 including the Tour Guide, and a 12-volt speaker system. This is an excellent mode of transportation for any event that covers a large area. The Olds People Mover has been rented out for the Olds College Open House, Red Deer Westerner Days, and Torrington Pioneer Days, among others.

The Administration Building is completely furnished with up-to-date office equipment. Built in 1994, it features a kitchen area and round meeting table. The Boardroom is available for rent to all organizations, and seats up to 25 people. The Cow Palace Boardroom is also available to host smaller meetings of 10 - 15 people. For larger groups, the Cow Palace Foyer is an ideal place to host your organization's meeting.
